In recognition of his lengthy and devoted service to The North Pacific as an Associate Justice and then as Chief Justice of the Court of The North Pacific; in further recognition of his work that gave us the Bank of The North Pacific and as a member of the Security Council; and in recognition of his daily contributions to the strength of our region as a secure place of democratic freedom, the Prime Minister’s Award for Diligence is presented to Byardkuria!
Wow, trust me not to show up for the ceremony where I get something like this.
I would never have guessed that I was even up for such an award, and yet here it is. I would like to thank a few people, though, if I may, in roughly chronological order -
Baribeau, Stars of Sky, Pixiedance (the Moldavi years), Ermarian, Sincroferbistan, Mr. Gaunt, GVF, St. Twomove the Benevolent, Flemingovia, Hersfold, Grosseschnauzer, GBM, Romanoffia, Tresville, Pope Hope, Biyah, Thyatira, Jean Reno, Shoeless Joe, Poltsamaa!!, Democratic Donkeys, Fedele, Blue Wolf, and anyone else that I have forgotten, who has helped me, or whom I have tried to help - you may never read this message, but thank you for pushing me in the right direction by your example and counsel. Each of you have contributed to making this the greatest community I have ever had an opportunity to be a part of, and I owe you more than you'll ever know. Thank you!
